Richard John Blakey (born January 15, 1967, Huddersfield, Yorkshire) is a former English cricketer who played in 2 Tests and 3 ODIs from 1992 to 1993.

Richard Blakey was a fine wicket-keeper for Yorkshire, who made two Test appearances for England in 1992-93 during the tour to India. Sadly, he made little impression and returned to the comparative obscurity of the county game.

As was the case for many keepers during the 90s, the presence of Jack Russell and Alec Stewart made any possible further appearances for the English cricket team very difficult.
